CDV is long gone on my car. It helps, but I am now convinced the luggy stock flywheel is the cause for a lot of the rev matching jerkiness that comes with this car. At around 35 lbs it really hurts the drivability of this car IMO. It is quiet, but it hurts the driveability. |

I don't think UUC change the stock rubber carrier bushing, so some people still experience slop even with UUC SSK and DSSR. RE SSK includes a modified stock carrier and Delrin carrier bushing which helps reduce the slop. IMO the stock rubber bushings should be replaced especially for cars with high mileage, Bimmerworld has the RE delrin bushings for $25.

I couldn't get one of the yellow washers onto the transmission side and get the circlip over it so I left that one out. Maybe that's why I still have some slop. I really don't want to get back under the car on ramps to attempt fixing it at the moment.

Awesome!!! I love my UUC SSK and DSSR!!!
I conducted a GB last year, as it was quite challenging, it all worked out pretty well. Some delays, some issues, but that was to be expected with UUC coming out with the DSSR to go along with the SSK. The gang at UUC have been great and they always came through when it mattered. I would recommend this set-up to everyone who has a MT!! Great review Former Boosted, as always...enjoy the new shifting experience!!! UUC FTW! Rob, John and Arjun are as good as they come...IMO! As JPSimon said, time to get a new shift knob!! UUC has some great ones! Cheers

This is why I have yet to replace the selector rod in my car. I most likely will once the bushing needs to be replaced. |

Ok cool that makes sense. I'll probably need a new bushing then. Does UUC sell them? |

Nice right up man.
1/2"-1" slop while in gear is not normal. My car and many others I have dealt with don't have that much slop if any. The stock shift knob, does suck however. Gear noise? You shouldn't have expected any as the BMW has an external linkage assembly unlike the IS300 you are used to which the shifter resides directly in the transmission. The only time the IS300's would eliminate that was with the V160 swap (and as you know, that's not common) So yes, on a car like that, there will be syncro whine and noise through the shifter. Great write up though as always. What clutch did you end up going with? -Malek

I like the idea of everything but I installed a UUC SSK in my e46 M3 and I honestly liked the sloppy shifting a lot better.
There was something about the slop that made it easier to throw in gear but I'm curious if the install was correct. Does this make sense or am I in the minority? I guess my question is...Does this SSK make it easier to get into gear or does is just make the throw shorter resulting in making it harder to get into gear?

They are indeed back ordered. Rob said it would be a couple more days.
Since I live in Germany, I've got to email. It is annoying to bridge the time difference for a phone call.

i have always been a fan of the UUC stuff from back in my audi days. even for the non bmw stuff it was top notch. i plan do do the ssk with the dssr when i do the down pipes and get the car on a lift.

With the car on a lift, the SSK / DSSR is very easy. I have tried to organize mods based on the time they made the most sense.
